Office closed 3-5 July for Independence Day national holiday weekend

Our office will be closed Friday, 3 July, in observance of Independence Day. We will be closed, as usual, over the regular weekend, as well. We will reopen at 8:00 am on Monday, 6 July. For emergency assistance during this closure, please call the office for further instructions.

Featured Announcement - USB tag-to-computer connection now available

A USB connection for communicating with Wildlife Computers tags is now available. The USB-Blue replaces the Cable Comm, which required a serial port. This device connects the tags to the USB port without any additional adapters.

Please contact us if you need a USB-Blue to replace an older Cable Comm. Each new tag order includes a USB-Blue gratis, when requested.

Newest versions always available on Downloads page

Communication and analysis software, device driver, and user manual updates are posted on the Downloads page of our website. We recommend checking for updates when you begin a new project and before you deploy tags or analyze data.

At Wildlife Computers...

Wildlife Computers designs and manufactures the most sophisticated electronic instruments (tags) available for wildlife and ecological research. We offer a wide range of tag types for recording the behavior and distribution of free-ranging marine animals. Based on customer input and the evolving needs of the research community, we continue to offer an ever-expanding variety of sensor options and tag shapes. Our team of engineers has incorporated state-of-the-art electronics with ingenious software to produce a suite of tags capable of addressing a diverse array of research questions. Quality control is paramount. Every tag is thoroughly tested before we send it to our customers.

We offer…

• Rugged, reliable tags designed for deployment in the ocean and other challenging environments.
• Data retrieval either through physical recovery of the tag or via transmission through the Argos satellite system, depending on tag type.
• A variety of user-programmable parameters, providing the customer with flexibility to adapt the tags to meet changing research needs.
• Specialized shapes to suit the particular characteristics of various species. The best study results are obtained from tags that have the least impact on the behavior of the animal. We work with customers to create configurations that best meet their needs.
